1-800 HANSONS

A typical day at work is dynamic and engaging. I focus on creating training programs, organizational development, leadership coaching, and continuing education for our products and business. The pace is fast enough to keep things exciting but not overwhelming, and I enjoy working closely with my team. We often bounce ideas off each other and make collaborative decisions, which creates a strong sense of camaraderie.

During my time here, I've developed numerous skills, including technical expertise, advanced problem-solving, sales techniques, and a comprehensive understanding of the construction industry. I've also learned how they manage a sales process from start to finish, which has been incredibly rewarding to learn.

The management here is exceptional—supportive yet hands-off, trusting us to take ownership of our work. They are always available to guide and assist when needed. While formal goal-setting and feedback processes are still being refined, it's clear the organization is actively working on improving.

The workplace culture is another highlight. It's friendly, competitive, and inclusive, with numerous company-wide and team-building events that foster a strong sense of belonging. From summer giveaways to free turkeys for Thanksgiving, free ice cream on hot days, and volunteer opportunities like toy drives and coat collections, the organization genuinely cares about its employees and community.

The hardest part of the job is navigating synergies between departments, especially as we’re growing rapidly. However, the excitement of being part of a fast-growing organization outweighs the challenges.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the combination of great coworkers, workplace flexibility, and abundant growth opportunities. I also appreciate the autonomy I have in completing tasks and making decisions, along with the fun activities that the company organizes regularly.


I would exercise caution before accepting a sales position with 1-800-HANSONS based on my personal experience.

During the hiring and training process, I understood that commissions would be paid with 75% upfront and the remaining 25% at a later stage. However, I have not yet received all of the commission compensation I expected, and I have struggled to obtain clear information regarding the timing of those payments.

When I contacted corporate for clarification, I was told that I would need to wait for the process to run its course. I left those conversations feeling frustrated because I did not receive a clear timeline or explanation regarding my concerns.

I also found it challenging to achieve consistent sales results because many of the leads assigned to me appeared to involve prospective customers with significant financing obstacles. In my experience, this made closing sales more difficult and sometimes left me feeling that important factors affecting success were beyond my control.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend this position to individuals who depend on predictable commission income or who expect detailed communication regarding compensation. I would encourage anyone considering employment to carefully review the commission structure, payment schedule, and employment terms in writing and to ask detailed questions before accepting an offer.

This review reflects my personal experience and opinions.

I don’t even know where to start, I started with the company with little training. It’s almost like they put me on a bike with no training wheels and say okay go. No support AT ALL. They promise you something or tell you changes will happen but never do. A new manager came in and all managers like to single people out. A lot of favoritism even when you are working your butt off. Managers don’t know the job and assume you don’t know how to do the job either. You can tell them over and over again that you know what to do but they still do not think you do. Managers also make comments to make you feel dumb or uncomfortable in the workplace. In the departments I worked in, there was always one or two coworkers that walked around talking and got nothing done during the day(when we were in the office) but never got in trouble but god for bid if I did that, it would be the end of the world. Pay isn’t very good for everything you do during the day. Benefits were good. PTO isn’t ideal either. I did not feel happy coming to work at all because each day it was a struggle. Bringing problems up to HR was a struggle because they say they will help but multiple times of going to HR about policy discussion and telling them reasons why the situation is against company policy, they do NOTHING. They try to turn everything around ALWAYS to try and protect their managers. Absolutely ridiculous!

Worked here for a few years to build the resume. I would advise unless desperation is near I would pass this place by. The killers of the morale here is politics and favoritism. People who are in certain positions that they've never earned or showed and proved themselves for. If you were to just background check some of these people you would see how undesirable they are especially when they drag their bad attitudes in the place. Most of the people who have been working there forever, its the bubble they can't get out of because its all they know. I would have to clean up after others who felt they didn't have to work as hard as me. They made many unsavory decisions with any offer of a raise. All they want is to keep the revenue coming forget your feelings. It may not be an I in team but its an I in ignored for which you will be if you partake. There is no corrections made for those who are missing the point its just a waste. How about do some work? Get in and get out if you must. Also word of advise keep your business to yourself lots of people here like to switch faces and drop cases and leave you with the disaster they couldn't handle.

I have had the privilege of working at Hansons for 12 years. I began my career with the company in 2012 as an Administrative Assistant.

Through hard work and dedication, I was promoted to Office Manager, where I managed day-to-day operations and ensure the office ran smoothly, I then advanced to the National Office Manager, which gave me the opportunity to travel and train new Office Managers, sharing best practices and building strong teams. 

Three years ago, I transitioned to the role of Service Department Manager, where I focused on streamlining operations and improving customer satisfaction. Today, I oversee both the Service and Collection departments, ensuring that our teams deliver outstanding results while maintaining efficiency.  

My time at Hansons has been incredibly rewarding. I am proud of the contributions I've made and the growth I've experienced. Hansons has provided me with the opportunities to lead, innovate, and grow and I am excited for what the future holds. 

Hansons is a great place to work overall. I believe they give you the tools to succeed and the job is what you make of it.

A typical day for me generally begins at our office/warehouse, helping our contractors get underway. Then I will check my schedule for the day and gather any materials I might need for services/repairs before leaving the office. I usually only spend an hour or two there each day, which is nice as I prefer working outside and dealing with customers. My appointments each day are typically a combination of window measures with new customers and small repairs which seldom take more than a couple hours. They group the appointments together as best they can to minimize driving, and I am usually back at the office to head home before 4:30.

We have a small local team that works together well and everyone is accountable. Management gives good guidance but also trusts you to make decisions on your own without micromanaging. Local and upper management is very approachable if you do have questions or a problem you're not sure how to solve.
The workplace culture has a nice balance and is relatively relaxed because of this.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Hired me and went thru almost 3 weeks of training. Was spending 12 to 14 hours per day learning everything I could about my jib duties. Was honest on application about my criminal record and 3 weeks in Was pulled out of morning sales meeting and told I had to be let go. Every place I ever worked did background check first. This all after spending 14k on a car that was good on fuel and 2k on business clothes and then 400 on an apple I pad. Completely destroyed me. Company should do their background checks and actually read applications. Also after working there found out about a lot of dishonesty and almost scheme like approach to selling. Claim to have lifetime warranty but customers will find out otherwise. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Technology and learning all of the ways to enter promos and finance

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Dishonest and only number driven don't care about u as a person. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Going on leads to sell customers windows roofing and siding

What is the best part of working at the company?
Yr here are opportunities to receive fairly good compensation. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is a constant “What have you done for me lately” sense, which permeates every aspect of everyday life.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You’re on your own.  Most of the Managers (each city has its own) are throwbacks to yesteryear, when there was a lot more low-hanging fruit with little competition, so they assume things haven’t changed in the last 15-20 years. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get up, check your phone for appointments.  A few times per week there are early morning meetings, many of which are unnecessary.  Drive to appointments which can be 15 minutes away - or 75 miles - and typically find that you are the first company seen and that customer is going to do nothing u til they’ve seen at least 3-4 more (meaning it was all for naught).

Direct marketing representative is a glorified way of saying solicitor. Overall the job is entirely performance based, the issue in that is that not a lot of people have an interest in the product. The commissions scales on weekly appointments that you are able to set. On average, if you set 6 appointments, you will be lucky to have 3 go through. And you are at fault for the 3 that didn't because according to higher management. 

If you are charismatic and convincing, you will be fine, possibly even do well, but this job is definitely not for everyone.

If you have an off week and fail to get one appointment, you get a warning, at week 2, you get a written warning, at 3, you are on the chopping block. In some stores they suspend you for failing to meet a quota that relies heavily on another person's schedule.

Overall their system is the issue, and it desperately needs reform.


I took a risk joining a new company in a saturated market and I learned my lesson. Hiring was extremely difficult because who wants to knock doors for a company nobody has heard of in the snow knowing nobody is home until 5pm when the sun goes down? But management there did not understand why it was so hard to replicate the success they had in developed markets here in Denver where nobody knew them. And local leadership was terrible. They insisted that merely knocking on a door and being a cool guy would be enough to get any Joe to want a sales person over to sell em siding. Just completely unrealistic expectations all around, myself included.

If you want to canvass try Renewal by Andersen or Power. Its a tough industry to succeed in but those who do can make some skrilla.
